Father, Daughter Reunited After 30 Years
ATLANTA -- For the past three decades, Dr. Scott Becker has been searching for his daughter, April Becker-Antoniou.
Five days ago, Antoniou Googled her own name and found a Web site named after her. Now, the father and daughter who have no connection to Atlanta are meeting for the first time at Chops Steakhouse in Buckhead. Antoniou was born in Southern California, but recently moved to Newnan, Georgia. Dr. Becker lives in Wichita, Kansas.“I started looking for her and I could not find her. I could not find her mother. I couldn’t find April and I looked and I looked and I looked. So, I thought maybe one day my daughter will Google her name and maybe she will find me that way and five days ago she found me,” Becker said.He named the Web site after her and while Antoniou was typing her name in, “Scott Becker looking for April,” the Web site he created nearly 10 years ago, popped up. The two communicated by e-mail and over the phone for the past five days. Becker said he confirmed her mother’s maiden name, her birthday, middle name and some other specific details only his daughter would know.“He is absolutely my father. I just felt like I wasn’t complete and now I feel peace,” Antoniou said. Practically overnight, Dr. Becker became a grandfather. “It’s just awesome, I never thought I would find my daughter and here she is,” said Becker. “I always asked my mom information about my father so I could find him, ” Antoniou said.On Antoniou’s Facebook page she writes, “you think I could have Googled that 7 years ago and saved myself the yearly torment. But, it all happens when it happens for a reason. I'm still in shock. I was at the point where I just figured I would never meet him. Glad I was wrong. And glad he was actually still looking, after all this time.”This is what was written on the Web site www.aprilbecker.com: "April Joi (Joy) BeckerDear April, When you read this, please send an email to: april@aprilbecker.com. I'm your dad and I would really like to talk to ya. When I get your email, I will ask you a couple of questions that only you would know so I can filter out the crazies out there. By the way, You have a lil sister that REALLY wants to talk to you :-) Dad Scott Robert Becker."Over the past 30 years Dr. Becker says he has hired private investigators, been scammed by people claiming to be his daughter, and spent between $30,000 and $40,000 trying to find her. He is positive both are father and daughter, he will not be seeking a DNA test. “I found my daughter." Dr. Becker said. "I am finally complete.”
